You have uncovered a bug in CMFDefault.DublinCore:  the 'editMetadata'
method was not getting the content object reindexed after setting the
new values, so your objects were not matching the search criteria.

You can repair the problem by:

  - Updating to current CVS (I just checked in the one-line fix);

  - Applying this patch to CMFDefault.DublinCore.py:

diff -u -r1.7 DublinCore.py
--- CMFDefault/DublinCore.py	2001/05/23 22:58:05	1.7
+++ CMFDefault/DublinCore.py	2001/05/28 20:55:34

          self.setLanguage( language )
          self.setRights( rights )
+        self.reindexObject()

      security.declareProtected( CMFCorePermissions.ModifyPortalContent
                               , 'manage_metadata' )

  - Customizing 'content/metadata_edit' and adding the following after
    the call to  'editMetadata':

     <dtml-call reindexObject>

Thanks very much for the bug report!
